The Apple Watch is very
personal—“personal” and “intimate” were words that Apple CEO Tim Cook and his colleagues used over and over again when presenting it to the public for the first time.

For a year, they have
been teaching Watson oncology. The system has been fed 2 million pages of text from 42 medical journals and clinical trials relevant to oncology. In addition, Watson has consumed 18,000 historical cases including medical records, patient outcomes, and physician's notes. Using natural language processing, Watson is capable of reviewing 1.5 million patient records in seconds. It does not stop there. Watson continues to learn as it’s fed new information. With every case and every new study that Watson learns, it modifies its recommendations.

Many human augmentation technologies will
be invented in the coming decades that will enable humans to experience an enhanced physicality. Powered exoskeletons will increase running efficiency, speed and reduce musculoskeletal stress; aquatic exoskeletons will augment swimming endurance and speed; and spider suits will enable enhanced abilities to climb smooth vertical walls. Comparable to the connection between the invention of the bicycle and the sport of cycling, such new augmentation technologies will naturally result in new sports being practiced – power running, power swimming, power climbing…
